We'll leave the TeX output intact, but users will have to write their own glue/titling code (or use lilypond-book). In a far future, I hope that we can link Lily to Pango or Omega so that we can "outsource" text typesetting. Unfortunately, Pango doesn't do print. I'm not sure where Omega is standing, last time I looked, development wasn't moving much. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
